Chapter 1190: Great Vows Bestowed for Future Fruit, Hidden Demons Stir for War

"Hehe!"

After the strike failed to achieve its goal, the Fu Fu Lao Mo of White Bones did not grow angry, but instead laughed.

Bodhisattva Baoyue felt a shock in his heart and instantly lowered his head.

He saw that the pure white lotus in the center of his palm was covered in countless grain-sized, five-colored spots.

With the Dharma Eye piercing the infinitesimal, one could see one hundred and eight thousand insects in a single drop of water.

Thus, he also saw those grain-sized dots were actually countless, brilliantly colored, and nearly imperceptible Primordial Plague Locusts, crawling upon the white lotus and gnawing away greedily. In each five-colored spot, there were approximately one hundred thousand Primordial Plague Locusts.

"Primordial Plague Locusts! The Ten Thousand Spirits Five Poisons Sect has also come!"

Chan Master Zunsheng's expression changed abruptly, and he hurriedly said to Bodhisattva Baoyue, "Abandon the lotus!"

"Too late!"

A woman walked slowly out from within the White Bone Demon City. Her long hair writhed like ten thousand snakes, and her lips were a faint purple, like a serpent or scorpion. In her hands, the Myriad Poison Jar of the Poison Basin held various Dao marks that were clearly endless plague qi, transformed into five-colored pestilence.

It was she who had hidden within the White Bone Demon City and ambushed Baoyue.

Bodhisattva Baoyue questioned, "Impossible. With the protection of the Zunsheng Banner, how did you break through..."

He saw Fang Tong, who wore a bitter smile amidst the white lotus, and suddenly understood.

"You were not trying to seize him, but rather wanted to use him to ambush me?"

The woman laughed, "That's right! How cunning is the Fu Fu Lao Mo?"

"I hid in the White Bone Demon City. Even when he entangled with you all in every way, I did not make a move, just to deceive you all until I had ten parts certainty. After all, a Nascent Soul is truly too difficult to kill!"

The Fu Fu Lao Mo of White Bones also laughed, "With dragons and snakes mixed in this place, what use would it be to just drive you back temporarily?"

"My Demon Path does not strike unless it must; once we strike, even a Nascent Soul True Immortal must leave a life behind!"

"As soon as the Martial Cultivator of the Righteous Path appeared, I knew that your Fomen was determined to obtain this."

"If I hadn't pretended to be interested in him, how could I have deceived you into planting the Primordial Plague Locusts on him in secret, tricking you into manifesting the White Lotus Dharma Image to take him away?"

"If your Pure White Lotus were not the manifestation of the great supernatural power of the Medicine Master Glazed Buddha Light, which fears nothing from the filthy methods of the Demon Path, and if I, the Fu Fu Lao Mo of White Bones, did not walk the upright and magnificent path of the Great Strength Divine Demon, how would you have lowered your guard?"

The scorpion-like woman laughed, "And the Primordial Plague Locusts of my Ten Thousand Spirits Five Poisons Sect happen to restrain all grass and wood spirit roots?"

"So what if it's a white lotus? A pure white lotus is still a lotus, and a lotus is still grass and wood. If it is grass and wood, it will be restrained by the Primordial Plague Locusts... This is the thief of wood!"

"Gnawing away at your White Lotus Dharma Image is equivalent to gnawing away at your Dao Seed and your Dharma Body!"

In the Myriad Poison Jar of the Poison Basin, infinite Gu insects writhed and rolled like sea waves.

That endless plague-gu qi soared into the sky, transforming above the woman's head into a flying knife with eyebrows and eyes.

Bodhisattva Baoyue sighed and turned to Chan Master Zunsheng, saying, "I now enter extinction, yet I still have a great vow!"

The Moonlight Glazed Treasure Mirror reflected his body. He held the white lotus, already gnawed into spots by the Primordial Plague Locusts, before his chest, revealing his Glazed Dharma Body.

The pure blue Glazed Dharma Body was also being eroded by the five-colored plague qi, revealing bone and flesh.

Bodhisattva Baoyue held the white lotus before his chest, pinching the lotus flower with fingers gnawed down to three white bones, and said solemnly, "May I, in a future life when I attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, have a body that shines with brilliant light, illuminating infinite, countless, and boundless worlds, adorning my body with the thirty-two marks of a great man and the eighty secondary characteristics; may all sentient beings be no different from me."

The Fu Fu Lao Mo of White Bones' expression changed slightly, and the scorpion-like woman also frowned.

"The Twelve Great Vows of Medicine Master Tathagata!"

Even Dan Chenzi and Zhang Tianshi, who were watching from afar, sighed.

Then they heard another vow: "May I, in a future life when I attain Bodhi, have a body like glazed glass, clear and bright inside and out, pure and without blemish, with vast and great light..."

Zhang Tianshi had intended to remain neutral regarding the division between the Buddhist and Daoist sects, but at this moment, he reached out and grasped the Three-Five Evil-Slaying Male and Female Swords on his back.

Dan Chenzi, seeing this, coughed slightly and said, "Medicine Master Glazed Glass has a Dao dispute with my Tushita Palace. Tianshi, hold your hand!"

Zhang Tianshi glanced at him, saying nothing, but ultimately loosened his grip.

In the past, the Medicine King Dao Fruit of the medical school was indeed fiercely contested by both the Buddhist and Daoist families.

After all, administering medicine to cure illness is the best way to spread the Divine Path.

Back then, the Jade Emperor cut off the Talisman Water Dao Fruit that Tushita Palace was about to achieve, to guard against the Taiping Dao changing the heavens, which had already made Tushita Palace greatly dissatisfied.

As a Tianshi of the Daoist Sect, he could not afford to provoke Tushita Palace again this time!

The Great Vow Path-Proving Method is a supreme great supernatural power based on the Buddhist Great Dao of Karma, much like the Dream Path-Proving Method.

It is the transformation of all one's cultivation, accumulation, and merit of this life into a great vow, drawing upon the vow-power of sentient beings to shape a supreme true body in the future.

It is equivalent to shaping a Buddha Fruit in the future with everything from this life and the vow-power of sentient beings.

With such a supreme great supernatural power, the cultivation of this life is merely a seed; the most important thing is to use the Great Dao of Karma to trigger the vow-power of sentient beings, which is equivalent to borrowing from sentient beings, making a vow, and shaping a Dao Fruit in the future.

Taiyi's Other Shore Dao Fruit was shaped in this way.

In the Fomen, those who can prove the Dao with great vows are all great beings like the Four Great Bodhisattvas and Medicine Master Glazed Light King Tathagata. A mere Bodhisattva Baoyue is naturally not qualified to prove the Dao with this method.

However, Medicine Master Glazed Light King Buddha is one of the very few in the Fomen who has fulfilled his great vows.

He has already opened up the Glazed Light Land, repaid the vow-power and merit debts owed to sentient beings, and attained the Buddha Fruit.

Therefore, Bodhisattva Baoyue reciting the Twelve Great Vows of Medicine Master Glazed Light Buddha was drawing upon his Glazed Dao Fruit, using the merit of this life to verify the Twelve Great Vows of Medicine Master Tathagata, vowing to cultivate into a manifestation of Medicine Master Tathagata in the future!

Medicine Master Glazed Tathagata has the Seven Buddha Original Vows and is the only one among the Eight Great Bodhisattvas who established the Dao with great vows to have attained Buddhahood in the present world.

His Seven Buddha Original Vow Dharma Body is an existence that relies on the Medicine Master Glazed Great Vow to prove the Dao and condense his lower-level Dao Fruit.

Bodhisattva Baoyue could also have this achievement in the future, but verifying the great vow at this time meant abandoning the future Dao Fruit, only to cultivate in the future into a protector or Jin Gang corresponding to each great vow under Medicine Master Bodhisattva.

Those twelve protectors and Vajras are the Twelve Yaksha Great Generals.

They are those who verified the Medicine Master Tathagata's great vows with their own merit in the past and future, and are protectors cultivated with the help of the Great Dao of Karma!

Dan Chenzi shook his head slightly, "Even the Twelve Great Vows of Medicine Master Glazed Light King cannot suppress the Primordial Plague Locusts. Don't forget! The Primordial Plague Locusts are the weapons of Xingtian, the punishment of Xingtian who once wanted to reverse-slay the Heavenly Emperor. Even if Medicine Master Tathagata's Glazed Dao Fruit is complete, it is ultimately rooted in the Divine Path..."

Finally, Bodhisattva Baoyue recited the great vow that proved his Dao: "May I, in a future life when I attain Bodhi, if all sentient beings are oppressed by various illnesses, without rescue or return, without medicine or doctor, without relatives or home, poor and suffering; once my name reaches their ears, all illnesses will be removed, body and mind will be peaceful and happy, families and resources will be abundant, until they attain supreme Bodhi."

Reverse-cultivating into the Divine Path.

Attaching himself to Medicine Master Glazed Light Buddha, cultivating himself into a 'God' who executes his great vows!

For a time, behind Bodhisattva Baoyue, within the Great Dao of Karma, the eleven great generals of the past and future and eighty-four thousand practitioners together raised their voices to verify the Great Dao Fruit of Karma held high in the void.

They said in unison, "World-Honored One!"

"We, having now received the Buddha's mighty power, have heard the name of the World-Honored Medicine Master Glazed Light Tathagata, and no longer fear the evil paths."

"We all share one heart, and until the end of our forms, we take refuge in the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, vowing to carry all sentient beings, to act for their benefit, and to bring them peace and happiness. Wherever this sutra is spread, or wherever the name of Medicine Master Glazed Light Tathagata is received, held, respected, and offered to!"

"We and our retinue will protect this person, liberating them from all suffering, and satisfying all their wishes. If there are those with illnesses seeking liberation, they should also recite this sutra, tie my name with a five-colored thread, and once their wishes are fulfilled, then untie the knot."

The Twelve Yaksha Great Generals and the eighty-four thousand Yakshas swore in unison.

Bodhisattva Baoyue's Glazed Dao Seed fell, and Bodhisattva Baoyue was nailed between the eyebrows by the flying knife of the Primordial Plague Locusts, which had eyebrows and eyes.

But the flying knife turned, and Bodhisattva Baoyue's Glazed Dharma Body could not block it in the slightest.

His head was cut off by the flying knife that specialized in slaying gods and killing Buddhas!

Soon, the Glazed Dharma Body and the falling head were gnawed clean by the Primordial Plague Locusts, leaving only a skull like white jade spinning in place.

Chan Master Zunsheng felt sorrow arise from within, put down the Zunsheng Banner in his hand, picked up the skull, held it in his arms, and said, "Dao Brother! Dao Brother..."

The scorpion-like woman used the Myriad Poison Jar of the Poison Basin to retrieve the Primordial Plague Locusts, her expression solemn: "In the end, it wasn't killed clean!"

The Fu Fu Lao Mo of White Bones also sighed helplessly, "No way, Nascent Soul True Immortals are too hard to kill! Especially this kind of Nascent Soul that has cultivated a Dao Seed?"

"Baoguang Glazed Glass, like Water-Moon Glazed Glass and Sunlight Glazed Glass, is one of the nine types of pure glazed glass in the world. I didn't expect it to be this person's Dao Seed."

"I didn't expect him to have cultivated the Great Vow Path-Proving Method, entrusting his life's merit to future attainment."

"Sigh! Proving the Dao with great vows has the benefit that as long as the Great Dao of Karma exists, no matter how many lives one turns, one will inevitably attain the Dao in the future. The disadvantage is that one's cultivation is basically locked into future merit, and it is difficult to have breakthroughs!"

"So since Amitabha Buddha attained complete Dao, those Bodhisattvas' great vows have become more exaggerated one after another. The Buddha Fruit is indeed complete and supreme, but the process! That is infinitely long!"

"Like Medicine Master Tathagata, who attained the Dao with only twelve great vows in the present world, there are very few."

"I also didn't expect why he would give up being a Buddha who condenses a Dao Fruit to become a protector who licks people's feet!"

The Fu Fu Lao Mo of White Bones stood proudly on the White Bone Demon City, waved his sleeve, and said naturally, "You helped me kill him, that is already a great merit. This person proved the Dao with great vows and can draw future merit to this time. Moreover, I fear that his Twelve Yakshas have all come! Each of the twelve protectors attached to the Glazed Dao Fruit is no less capable than I am."

"You are not their match in a single round, retreat!"

The scorpion-like woman retreated obediently.

The Fu Fu Lao Mo of White Bones, even among their Demon Path, was an old demon head of many years, a giant of the Demon Path.

His words were best listened to!

But where Bodhisattva Baoyue's Dao Fruit fell, a Poshuo Divine Tree grew, and on the tree bloomed an eight-zhang large flower.

The moment the flower bloomed, a divine general leaped out, entirely red, wearing a snake crown, his right hand bent at the elbow with an open palm placed before his eyebrows, his left hand holding a three-pronged halberd!

This was the Indara Yaksha Divine General, Bodhisattva Baoyue's future body.

Then there were the majestic King Palace Pila Great General, Jin Gang King Fazheluo Great General, Strict King Miqiluo Great General, Multi-Hearing King Andiluo Great General, Sandalwood King E'niluo Great General, Flower Garland King Shandiluo Great General, Great Illusion King Boyiluo Great General, Python-Walking King Mohuluo Great General, Doubt-God King Zhendaluo Great General, Strict Banner King Zhaoduluo Great General, and Sound-Teaching King Bijieluo Great General.

The Twelve Protector Great Generals, each had a divine body like a Jin Gang Hunyuan.

"Boom!"

Indara waved his hand in a strike, shaking the entire Black Emperor Altar, subduing the five-colored plague qi transformed by the Primordial Plague Locusts.

The scorpion-like woman in the White Bone Demon City bit her lower lip, full of unwillingness.

If the real Primordial Plague Locusts were here, or if she had the chance to plant Gu and spread the plague, what would these twelve divine generals be?

She could at least block one!

The moment the twelve divine generals manifested, the Buddha light suppressed by the surging demon qi suddenly changed its appearance.

An endless light land spread out from beneath their feet, opening up a pure land in the First Emperor's Mausoleum, which was essentially the underworld. Stepping onto the pure land was like stepping onto the Eastern Glazed Light Land, liberating one from all suffering.

These twelve divine generals together could trigger the Glazed Dao Fruit, comparable to a Dao Lord.

Dan Chenzi hid far away, standing on tiptoe and looking, saying, "I knew this bald donkey had no good intentions. It's a good thing I hid far away."

Zhang Tianshi said helplessly, "Daoist friend, why do this? Even if they had ten times the courage, they would never dare to strike at Tushita Palace."

"Afraid of the Yin-Yang Fan!"

Dan Chenzi said sincerely, "The moment the Supreme Dao Dust Bead made a move, it killed a Black Emperor of the Heavenly Court. Medicine Master Tathagata dares to strike, but he also fears my palace's supreme treasure, the Supreme Yin-Yang Fan! After all, it doesn't matter if the Heavenly Court loses a Black Emperor, but if the Fomen loses him, this Eastern Saint, it might not be able to support the two heavens of the Pure Land!"

This was a secret that few people knew.

The Bliss Heaven in the two heavens of the Fomen was opened up by the strength of Shakyamuni Buddha, but the Sumeru Heaven was supported by five Buddhas together.

Among them, the Western Saint Amitabha Buddha, the Eastern Saint Medicine Master Tathagata, the Southern Saint Great Sun Tathagata, the Northern Saint Immovable Tathagata, plus the Central Great Hero Zangshan Laozu and Burning Lamp Ancient Buddha together supported the Sumeru Heaven.

The twelve divine generals each held high their Dharma implements, and the White Bone Demon City was shaken repeatedly. The huge city walls built of the bones of gods and demons were also struck with pits. The power of their combined hands was no less than the strike that Er Dao Shen had previously invited Zhurong to make.

But the Fu Fu Lao Mo of White Bones did not retreat again!

The four gods and demons carrying the White Bone Demon City suddenly lowered the demon city from their shoulders.

Great Strength Through-Arm Demon Ape, Great Strength Earth-Shaking Demon Ox, Great Strength Nine Nether Demon Dragon, Great Strength Heaven-Swallowing Demon Lion!

Countless gods and demons' skeletons on the four city walls trembled, and giant hands broke through the walls, meeting the twelve divine generals.

A giant bear paw slapped down, accompanied by a huge body crashing out from the White Bone Demon City, smashing the body of the Bijieluo Great General onto the Black Emperor Altar.

Two giant bear paws pressed on his head, a series of crashing sounds destroyed everything, almost crushing his head.

Another giant elephant trunk coiled around the body of the Zhaoduluo Divine General, and six giant tusks like demon knives pierced his chest.

Indara thrust out his trident, and the Glazed Light Land beneath his feet spread with his footsteps, coming to the feet of the Bijieluo Great General, whose head had been almost smashed by the demon bear, and his injuries began to recover instantly.

On the Glazed Light Land, the Twelve Yaksha Divine Generals were almost invincible.

The Bijieluo Great General raised his treasure wheel and smashed it down, causing the demon bear's head, which was pressed against the Black Emperor Altar, to tilt heavily, but it only became more fierce, stomping its feet on the ground, rubbing the Bijieluo against the Black Emperor Altar and lifting him up.

Similarly, before the Glazed Light Land spread to the demon elephant, six tusks lifted the Zhaoduluo Great General up, and his divine sword slashed at the thick elephant trunk between the six tusks, cutting off half of the elephant trunk.

But the demon elephant swung its tusks crazily, tearing his divine body to pieces...

Previously, a swift figure rushed out from the city wall and instantly disappeared into the gray sky above.

Just as the Boyiluo Great General held a bow and arrow, shooting at the demon bear and demon elephant, a giant demon roc swooped down from the sky, its claws grabbing his pipa bone and taking him into the sky.

A demon luan circling there spat out Heavenly Soil Tribulation Fire, burning his golden body into ruins, and his Hunyuan body was almost melted.

A giant kun crashed out of the city wall, knocking the Gongpila and Fazheluo divine generals into the sea of blood!

From each city wall, one on the left and one on the right, two gods and demons broke through............

Mountain-Carrying Demon Roc, Sea-Swallowing Demon Kun, Sun-Burning Demon Luan, Prison-Suppressing Demon Elephant, Abyss-Splitting Demon Rhino, God-Burying Demon Hou, Moon-Eroding Demon Wolf, Collapse-Deficient Demon Bear, World-Bearing Demon Ao.

The Twelve Great Strength Gods and Demons all appeared!

The Fu Fu Lao Mo of White Bones' will drove the Death Dao Fruit of the gods and demons, fully exerting the power of the Twelve Great Strength Gods and Demons.

In an instant, it separated the twelve divine generals and tore apart the Glazed Light Land...

The power of the White Bone Demon City was fully revealed, and while beating the twelve divine generals, it even suppressed Chan Master Zunsheng together.

A giant demon ao, carrying a broken great world and part of the White Bone Demon City, stepped on him with one foot.

One of its legs was comparable to the Black Emperor Altar, and its body covered most of the sea of blood.

Just at this moment, Mount Yujing, which had been hidden in the sea of blood for a long time, suddenly crashed through the void and appeared, instantly shattering the Moon-Eroding Demon Wolf that was devouring the light and obscuring everything with endless darkness.

Yu Changsheng, who had been lying in ambush on Mount Yujing for who knows how long, retreated respectfully behind an old man.

The Yu family's ancestor drove Mount Yujing and crashed into the White Bone Demon City, which had lost the cover of its city walls.

Countless Gu insects crawled out of the Myriad Poison Jar of the Poison Basin and pounced on Mount Yujing, but were annihilated by a divine light struck by the Yu family's ancestor.

At this time, an ancient emperor in imperial robes and a crown stood on the White Bone Demon City, raised a hand, and caught Mount Yujing.

Yu Changsheng gritted his teeth and said, "Corpse Demon Emperor!"

"Who else? In the White Bone Demon City, which other high-level Demon Path expert hasn't made a move?"

A faint ghost lamp lit up.

The six Heavenly Demons of the Demon Path stepped out of the White Bone Demon City together!

Even Dan Chenzi was startled, "I didn't expect that the Nascent Souls of the Demon Path were all hidden in the White Bone Demon City. They only revealed the Fu Fu Lao Mo of White Bones, who is the hardest to hide, outside. How insidious! Can the Demon Path be so united?"

The True Transmission Dao raised the Supreme Original Demon Ruler and reached out to measure, reversing high and low.

Measuring time and space.

The twelve divine generals of the future manifested the fruit of the future through the cause of today, but were measured by the Supreme Original Demon Ruler, pulling apart time.

Instantly, endless light of time fell, turning into a natural chasm, isolating them from this time...

And Mount Yujing, the Great Strength Gods and Demons, and the onlookers Zong Yang and the Confucian scholars and other Nascent Soul True Immortals all shrank. The gods and demons that were originally ten thousand zhang high turned into the size of ordinary people, Mount Yujing was only like a small hill, and the Nascent Souls, who were already like ordinary people, turned into ants.

Even if they used their Law-Heaven-Earth-Earth, they would only expand to the size of a thumb.

Each little person, even if they tried their best to destroy, could only destroy the most inconspicuous corner of the White Bone Demon City.

The Fu Fu Lao Mo Shi of the True Transmission Dao laughed, "Fellow Daoists, don't hide anymore! As long as your Nascent Souls are tainted with a trace of demonic nature, you cannot escape the measurement of the Supreme Original Demon Ruler."

"Don't you think so? Zhang Tianshi!"

He turned his head to look at Zhang Tianshi, who was carrying the Three-Five Evil-Slaying Male and Female Swords on his back.

Dan Chenzi could only smile bitterly when he saw this. It was already a battle between the righteous and the demonic, could they still hide?

The Cangming Sword broke through the void, pointing directly at the Fu Fu Lao Mo Shi.

The Nascent Soul True Immortal of the Shaoqing Sword Sect had been lurking here for who knows how long, only to unleash this sword light of spirit treasure level, unfolding the supreme swordsmanship of breaking ten thousand laws with one sword, letting the sword light cut off the foundation of countless seals of the Supreme Original Demon Ruler.

"Demon head, submit to execution!"

Dan Chenzi waved his hand, and nine flame dragons circled and spat out various divine fires, instantly evaporating the sea of blood for a hundred miles, burning the countless Gu insects in the Myriad Poison Jar of the Poison Basin until they fell down with a crackling sound.

Zhang Tianshi also came with his sword.

The Nascent Soul of the True Transmission Dao was picked away by Shaoqing.

He then faced the second most powerful of the seven demons, the Fu Fu Lao Mo of White Bones...

The Dao and Demon fought, first tacitly pushing the Fomen out.

Chan Master Zunsheng, who was suppressed by the Demon Ao, had just supported the Ao foot when he was hit by a sword qi, a primordial demon, a flame dragon, a demon ape, a ghost fire, a corpse qi...

His golden body, which had almost no resistance, was shattered and knocked down into the sea of blood.

He struggled to raise his head, saw the sword mark on his chest that almost pierced his back, and cursed fiercely, "Not a son of man!"

Then he felt the faint suppression of the entire sea of blood.

He could only struggle to mobilize his spiritual sense to protect the only bit of light in his heart!
